highly recommended

Dyson DC25 includes a motorized brushbar, fingertip controls, and the ball technology for easy vacuuming. Includes no hidden costs and a five year warranty.

Exactly what i was looking for!

I was a little skeptical about it because it is a very expensive vaccum, but i'm glad i bought it! very good build quality, amazing power and will gross you out what you see in the filter that came out of your "clean" carpet!!!

It gets every single bit of dirt out of the carpet. The attachements work great in small areas.

I would reccommend it to anyone looking for a great vaccum cleaner.

LOVE it

After going through 2 "economical" vacuum cleaners in 2 years, I decided that maybe economical was not the route to take. With a handy dandy 20% off coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond, we saved $100 off this baby! It's super easy to use, everything is pretty intuitive. It sucks up everything, easy to clean the container, fairly lightweight (compared to the regular dyson), and easy to store. I LOVE it. Totally worth the money.

you get what ya pay for

I had an oreck for about 8 years and although I loved it and liked being able to make payments I did have to take it into the shop a bunch of times and the cord and handle did not hold up at all. So, I decided to go with a different product when the oreck finally quit working. I ordered the latest and greatest Dyson Ball and love it. I is very expensive so it should be! It handles very well and is very easy to use. I felt the same way about the Oreck at first so I will get back to ya after owning the Dyson for several years and I will let ya know if it still sucks ha ha!

Physical disabilities and Dyson C25

After reading the very positive reviews on this site, I selected a Dyson C25 for my new vacuum. I decided to post for evaluation purposes for others who may have aches and pains like me and need a lightweight vacuum.

First, let me acknowledge that my new Dyson works extremely well, is easy to empty, not uncomfortably loud and assembles with no problem at all. It took me 10 minutes, however, to get it out of the box. I was trying to keep from destroying the box so I pulled, twisted and yanked all of the litte pieces of cardboard from around the vacuum. No styrofoam packing, which I appreciated but also no easy way to get it out of the box. It was SECURELY packed! I opened both ends and no amount of pushing or prodding would allow it to slip out. I simply took the packing out one little tear of cardboard at a time.
In hindsight, I would have simply slit the sides and retaped them if I needed to ship back. Assembly took about a 30 seconds after I looked at the pictures and found I was trying to put the handle on backwards.

The Dyson uses a unique wrist action to guide the sweeper across the floor. This is similar to Swiffer mopping with a 16 lb. mop. This is easy on my hardwoods but on my carpet it takes a bit of wrist strength. I also had to retrain myself to use a vacuum in this way. If you have arthritis in your wrists, you may want to try one a C25 in the store before purchase. My wrists were extremely sore at first but have strengthed so I can vacuum about 10 minutes before resting.

I also have a lower back problem which only bothers me when standing for long periods fo time or using a sweeping/mopping action. It bothered me with my old sweeper...it bothers me with this one. I didn't expect miracles but on the carpet and hardwoods, this vacuum doesn't feel featherlight. You may want to try one in the store if you have back problems. The telescoping tool wand is a little clumsy to handle, the hose tries to retract slightly when you turn it on and I haven't yet decided if I like using it. I have to use a bit of muscle to get it up high. I may find that with a little practice, it is a very efficient tool for baseboards. I love the way it stores in the handle. I'll post later with my verdict. For now, I'm not subtracting stars.

The things I like best about my C25 are:
1. Makes my rooms smell noticeably clean.
2. Cleans all the dust out of the cracks of my hardwoods with little effort.
3. Has a power switch and beater brush off/on switch that can be used without bending.
4. 'Love the see-through bagless canister and look forward to emptying it
5. No apparent leaks.
6. Swivel head glides easily around objects. Compact head fits in nooks and crannies.
7. Folds flat enough to vacuum all the way under my coffee table!

8. Clean floors! Clean floors!

9. Makes my area rugs look wonderful! Cleans up cat hair out of carpet!

What I like less about my C25:

Swiveling head sits very close to the floor so cobwebs/dust only 1 inch above floor goes untouched without getting out the want and tools.

Makes my wrist hurt.

Starts each time with the beater brush turned on

Short power cord (only a slight drawback)

Must pick up vacuum with hand grip and move 3 inches to get above smaller area rugs.

Wand is heavy to lift overhead and seems awkward (at least at first) when cleaning hard to reach places.

All in all, a four-star vacuum leaning to 5 stars for superb cleaning ability leaving an incredible fresh smell. I would buy again. I recommend trying it out in a store if you have physical disabilities.
